You’re Allowed to Feel Cute:

Image
When she gets new lipstick ๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿ’• And suddenly remembers: her body was never the problem. Not the lips. Not the curves. Not the piercings. Not the way she expresses herself. Adornment is not an invitation. Confidence is not consent. Loving how you look is not something you have to earn. This is for every girl who’s been told she’s “too much” for simply existing loudly, softly, brightly, or differently. You don’t owe anyone smaller versions of yourself. Wear the lipstick. Take the photo. Enjoy the moment. Your body is allowed to be seen. Your joy is allowed to be visible. You are allowed to feel cute — even on hard days. ๐Ÿ’– ✨ Be soft. Be bold. Be unapologetically you. ✨ Credit: KawaiiDollDecora.uk #BodyPositivity #SelfLove #KawaiiDollDecora #DisabledAndCute #NoShame #SoftButStrong #YouAreEnough Alt text: A six-panel collage on a pale pink background featuring close-up selfies focused on glossy coral-red lipstick.

Stay balanced in the face of online hate:

Image
Too many people hate online — and it’s worth remembering this: Projections are not facts. They are not informed perspectives. They are fragments of someone else’s unresolved pain, fear, or insecurity, thrown outward. We don’t exist to absorb that damage. Most of us are here to help, to contribute, to make things a little safer or kinder for someone else — and that does matter. Quietly. Consistently. Even when strangers try to drown it out with noise. Take the hate if you must — but don’t carry it. Hold a mirror up to poor behaviour without becoming it. Name harm without internalising it. And always remember this truth: It is their responsibility to fix themselves. You cannot reason with the unreasonable. You are not required to shrink, soften, or explain your humanity to be treated with respect. Boundaries are not cruelty. Walking away is not weakness. Continuing to help — despite the hate — is strength. Let them keep projecting. You keep doing the work that matters. ❤️ Sarah Wingfiel...

Always speak UP against abuse:

Image
In a world filled with abusers, I would rather whistleblow and safeguard than stay silent and allow harm to continue. You’re not always believed. You’re not always listened to. Often, people only understand once it happens to them too. That’s why abusers hide behind good deeds, reputations, and performative “helping.” Genuine, authentic people take accountability. They correct their behaviour. Apologies come with changed actions. Abusers don’t do that. Instead, they surround themselves with people shouting about the “amazing work” they do — not to protect others, but to silence victims. Some of those people don’t even realise they’re enabling abuse. They think they’re defending someone they admire. But if someone were truly good, there wouldn’t be victims trying to hold them to account. Period. When this behaviour exists inside organisations, support groups, or positions of power, they are not there to help people — they are there to help themselves. Abuse is hidden behind an army. Pow...

BBC Broadcast Webinar:

Image
 ✨ I’m taking part in this BBC careers webinar — and I’m genuinely excited to learn. ✨ On 18 February, I’ll be joining “Inside the Broadcast: Careers That Power the BBC”, a behind-the-scenes webinar exploring the roles and people that keep the BBC running 24/7. What I’m most looking forward to is learning directly from BBC professionals working in Media Operations and Broadcast Engineering — the areas we don’t usually see, but that make everything possible. I want to understand more about how live broadcasting actually functions day-to-day, how teams coordinate under pressure, and what skills really matter in modern media roles. As someone who’s always been curious about how creative industries actually work behind the scenes, this session feels especially valuable. I’m keen to hear real career journeys, how people got their foot in the door, how they’ve adapted as the industry evolves, and what opportunities are emerging now — particularly in technical, operational and cross-disci...

Devaluation in Narcissist Parents:

Image
Devaluation in Narcissist Parents: They devalue their partner, then their children — then act like it’s someone else’s fault. ❤️‍๐Ÿฉน Some ways devaluation shows up (especially when children are involved): • Abandonment without accountability Leaving a partner, but telling the child alone, controlling the narrative while excluding the other parent. • Manufactured struggle They create chaos or a “problem,” then present themselves as the hero who “fixed it” to appear like the better parent. • Replacement narratives Telling the child they’ve been “replaced” by an ex-partner or new partner — or implying they are — to provoke fear, insecurity, or loyalty conflict. • Financial avoidance with entitlement They don’t contribute to child trust funds, savings, or long-term security — yet expect the other parent to fund everything while taking credit or demanding access. • Triangulation They pit people against each other (child vs parent, ex vs new partner) to maintain control and avoid accountabili...

Emily Nails & Beauty Valentine's Treat:

Image
  Emily Nails & Beauty Valentine's Treat: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 ❤️ I honestly can’t recommend this nail salon enough. Every single visit I’m made to feel genuinely welcome, comfortable, and cared for — which matters so much to me. Their work is consistently beautiful, creative, and immaculate, and the range of styles they can do is incredible. They’ve created ombrรฉ, Halloween, flames, neon, girly sets, French, Valentine’s designs and more for me — and every single set has been flawless. What really sets them apart is how well they adapt nails to you. They’ve done nails for my film work, music shows, and my own personal aesthetic, always understanding the brief and elevating it beyond expectations. Whether I need something bold and eye-catching, soft and feminine, or statement nails that work on camera, they always deliver. Talented, friendly, professional, and creative — I always leave feeling confident and happy. If you’re looking for a salon that truly listens and produces stunning ...

Valentine's Day ๐Ÿ’˜

Image
 ~Valentine’s Day ๐Ÿ’•~ Peter and I exchanged gifts and cards, then popped to visit my parents. We took my mam some birthday gifts in advance and dropped a few treats off for dad too. Bam was gaming but got a lovely hug from me. ๐Ÿฅฐ After that, we headed back home, chilled out, relaxed, and had a cosy night in together. No rush, no pressure — just comfort, love, and calm. Sometimes the simplest days are the most meaningful. ๐Ÿ’ž — Sarah Wingfield ๐Ÿ’ #ValentinesDay #ValentinesDay2026 #Love #QualityTime #SimpleMoments Alt text: A pastel, scrapbook-style Valentine’s Day collage in soft pinks and creams with cherry blossom accents.

In concrete I bloom:

Image
 ๐ŸŒธ In Concrete I Bloom ๐ŸŒธ  I wrote In Concrete I Bloom as a chronic pain warrior — for every person who keeps growing even when their body feels like it’s working against them. This song is about resilience that nobody sees. About waking up in pain and still choosing to exist. About finding beauty, softness, and hope in places that were never meant to let anything grow. Chronic pain isn’t weakness. It’s strength built quietly, day after day, without applause. If you live with pain, fatigue, illness, or an invisible battle — this song is for you. You are not broken. You are not failing. You are blooming in concrete. ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to everyone who listens, feels seen, or finds a moment of comfort in this track. We survive. We adapt. We bloom. ๐ŸŽง In Concrete I Bloom – K•Doll feat.

She has long pale pink hair in twin ponytails with bows, her hands cupping her cheeks, and her feet kicked up behind her in chunky pastel trainers. She wears a yellow top and a pink gradient skirt. The background is soft pink with wings, hearts, polka dots, and candy-like patterns. Large glowing text at the top reads “LOVE,” with “KawaiiDollDecora.uk” underneath. Additional cute elements include a small red heart, a notebook, a star wand, and a pastel unicorn, all in a dreamy, sweet aesthetic.

Behind the Pink Pages:

Image
  Behind the Pink Pages ✨ Creating, juggling, and keeping the magic alive Some days look a little quieter on the outside. A pen. A pink notebook. A pause. But behind the scenes? There’s a lot happening. Right now I’m deep in production mode for Aycliffe Alternative Magazine — pulling articles together, coordinating contributors, problem-solving, editing, designing, and making sure everything still reflects the values it was built on: community, accessibility, honesty, and inclusion. At the same time, I’m also working on a feature film project — which has unexpectedly become another full-time mental load. Managing creative direction, logistics, people, boundaries, and decision-making takes a different kind of energy. It’s exciting, but it’s also intense, especially when you care deeply about doing things properly and ethically. So this moment — pen in hand, scribbling ideas into a very pink Hello Kitty notebook — is less “cute aesthetic” and more survival strategy. Creativity doesn’...

Movie: Cast update:

  ๐ŸŽฌ Cast Update – Upcoming Film Project ๐ŸŽฌ I’m excited to share a cast update for my upcoming movie project, Scream Team Reunion (working title). This project brings together a fantastic group of talented individuals, and I’m really proud of the team coming together both on and off screen.   It’s been a lot of work behind the scenes, and even more work to be done, but seeing it taking shape is incredibly rewarding. More updates will be shared as we move forward, including production details and future announcements.

Systemic Mislabeling in Healthcare:

Image
 Autistic people are labelled “abusive” far too easily — especially in medical settings. Being in pain, crying, shutting down, or struggling to communicate is not abuse. Autistic distress is not aggression. I’ve had medical records filled with claims that I was “abusive” while I was literally immobilised in hospital — unable to move, in severe pain, and being shouted at. I couldn’t have hurt a fly. Yet I’m the one who left with bruises as a disabled patient. Those labels don’t just disappear. They follow you. They affect how future professionals treat you, whether you’re believed, and whether you get help at all. This is what happens when systems mistake disability and trauma responses for “bad behaviour”. It’s harmful, it’s lazy, and it puts disabled people at risk. Distress is not abuse. Crying is not violence. Autism is not a character flaw. Sarah Wingfield  Independent Disability Advocate  #chronicillnesswarrior #autismawareness #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether ...

When People Speak Out:

Image
 When people speak out, they are doing so to seek resolution and solutions. If someone chooses to remain anonymous, that is a protective and safeguarding measure. It is actually slanderous to assume that anonymous complaints are themselves slander, when the clear intent is to raise concerns, resolve issues, and highlight harm that needs addressing. When people ask for modern-day accountability, it is rarely achieved. Anonymity often provides essential protection for those highlighting genuine issues — especially in environments where people become so loyal to organisations or companies that they attack the complainant instead of allowing harm to be acknowledged and rectified. Feedback is necessary for progress. Speaking about a bad experience is never slander — it is a request for accountability. From personal experience, formal complaints processes can expose people to further abuse, targeting, and retaliation, while still failing to resolve the original issue. If someone chooses ...

The important Conversations:

Image
We need more of these conversations! My answer: I work with charities and organisations and my advocacy and petitions but we need more teamwork. I find a lot of organisations are more about validation than community support - they're competing instead of amplifying the message by working together. I just finished an understanding domestic abuse course and I work in youth services and safeguarding children depts (unpaid) and we still need to fight to stop the unpaid roles disabled people are often left with and the 13% wage gap for those who manage to find paid work. The system is destructive in more ways than one, and until people start supporting genuine advocates and people> abusive ones with facades, we won't action much positive change. However - I'm proud that I action positive change and challenge what needs to be challenged, even if it's only small changes I manage to implement. I would also suggest the legalisation of pepper spray - having done my due diligen...
